How to run a process from memory

[securedsolution]

I am looking for a way to run a process form memory, without having any executable. The application will be kept inside a resource and will be extracted during run time. It should be then started as a new process. I couldn't find a solution that works also on x64

Are you using Windows?

If so, read Windows via C/C++ by Jeffrey Richter. There's a whole chapter on creating and managing processes.

I am using Windows, and Visual c++ 2010.
I don't understand your response. If there was a simple answer I wouldn't have published this question. It is very difficult to run a process from memory.

Not true. Research CreateProcess.

I did. However, if you could submit a code sample, that would be great. Just store a "hello world" executable as a "BINARY" resource and have the application extract the resource into memory, and launch a new process with the "hello world" application, without creating any physical file

Sounds like a great problem. Just Google "CreateProc ess" and copy their example.
